Luchtfoto van een boerderij in de Tarn before 1893

This photograph, taken by pioneering photographer Arthur Batut before 1893, showcases an aerial perspective of a farmhouse in the Tarn region of France. The image is an example of Batut's groundbreaking work in aerial photography, demonstrating his early experimentation with the medium. Captured using a kite-borne camera, the image offers a unique and striking view of the landscape and architecture from above. This pioneering technique foreshadowed the later development of aerial photography as a powerful tool for surveying, cartography, and artistic expression.
